passive preamp matching

wonder if someone could explain what a passive (no gain) preamp is vs a regular preamp. And how difficult is it to 'match' a passive preamp to other audio components.

Articles I have read mention being careful about output voltage and capacitance of cables used.

Wanted to know if a Mccormack TLC-1 would work well with a B7K 2140 poweramp.

I know you are looking for more technical information, but this recent thread at least addresses your first request.

Keroo1099,

Sorry, I'm not personally familiar with the equipment you mentioned. Jsadurni's post is a pretty complete discussion of the key issues. Perhaps someone else might be able to comment on the specific gear you're asking about.
